Jim

I’ve been hooked on soccer since season tickets to MN Kicks introduced me to the talents of Alan Merrick and colleagues. MN Strikers games and watching my daughter play on community teams increased my appreciation of the world’s game. With over 30 years of experience in 3d computer graphics I was eager to join the MOTI team and assist with motion capture. I enjoy combining animation and mocap to highlight specific playing skills.

Joth

I have never played or coached soccer for a living, but after many decades, I still absolutely LOVE the game. Now a father of 2, it only made sense to coach at the grassroots level and help others get introduced to this addictive game. I’m fortunate to have found this amazing group of talented individuals at MOTI to help apply my knowledge of 20+ years in the 3D animation and video industry. With multiple Emmys on the shelf I’m constantly trying to push for excellence.
